Why Is Everyone Tweeting?
For some time now, our district has really embraced Twitter. Teachers are tweeting what is happening in their classrooms, coaches are tweeting inspirational quotes, and administrators are tweeting about what is happening in their buildings. I must admit, before our superintendent arrived I was not much of a "tweeter." I enjoyed reading a few things here and there from the Washington Post, the local weather station, and...the Pope. 😊 Soon, however, I came to enjoy that I could peek into a colleague's classroom with the touch of a button. I love seeing what others are doing in their classrooms and I am constantly looking for fun, engaging ideas to do with my own students. Suddenly, I could see what was happening at a neighboring elementary within the same grade level. I found myself thinking, "I never thought to teach it like that before..." or "That's a really neat activity!" I realized that this was the reason Twitter was talked about
